A decade-long dream come true
The Romotow T8 RV is the brainchild of W2, a New Zealand-based architecture and design firm that has been working on this project for over a decade.
The firm first unveiled the concept of the Romotow in 2012, but it took six years to build a working prototype and another five years to finalize the design and production. The result is a sleek and stylish trailer that looks right out of the future.

A rotating cabin that doubles the living space
The most striking feature of the Romotow T8 is its rotating cabin, which can swivel 90 degrees from its shell when parked. This creates an L-shaped floor plan that doubles the living space and reveals a covered composite teak-look deck flooring and paneling with a fold-out table or a bench. Inside the rounded front nose are removable canvas/mesh sidewalls to keep the bugs out.

The rotation is controlled by an automated hydraulic system that makes the process smooth and easy. You don’t need any special skills or tools to operate the Romotow T8, just a hitch to tow it and a button to transform it.

You can also add a lift-up double bed to the living room, which increases the sleeping capacity to six people.

A pricey investment
The Romotow T8 is not a cheap trailer, though. It costs approximately $268,500, which is more than some houses. But according to Romotow's co-founder Matt Wilkie, the Romotow T8 is worth the investment. He says that the trailer is built to last for more than 50 years and that it’s the kind of thing that you can pass down to your children and grandchildren.
